PR Compliance Guide 🔍

Below is a summary of compliance checks for this PR:

Security Compliance
Insecure PHP defaults

Description: The bundled php.ini enables multiple development-oriented/insecure runtime behaviors
(e.g., expose_php = On at line 398, display_errors = On at line 501,
display_startup_errors = On at line 510, allow_url_fopen = On at line 870,
phar.require_hash = Off at line 1081, and Xdebug remote debugging xdebug.mode = debug at
line 1972), which can leak sensitive information and/or increase attack surface if these
configs are ever used outside strictly local development.

Generic: Secure Logging Practices

Objective: To ensure logs are useful for debugging and auditing without exposing sensitive
information like PII, PHI, or cardholder data.

Status:
Log destination unclear: Error logging is enabled (log_errors = On) but the error_log destination is not set (only
examples are commented), requiring verification that logs go to a secure location and do
not inadvertently expose sensitive content.

Referred Code
log_errors = On

; Set maximum length of log_errors. In error_log information about the source is
; added. The default is 1024 and 0 allows to not apply any maximum length at all.
; http://php.net/log-errors-max-len
log_errors_max_len = 1024

; Do not log repeated messages. Repeated errors must occur in same file on same
; line unless ignore_repeated_source is set true.
; http://php.net/ignore-repeated-errors
ignore_repeated_errors = Off

; Ignore source of message when ignoring repeated messages. When this setting
; is On you will not log errors with repeated messages from different files or
; source lines.
; http://php.net/ignore-repeated-source
ignore_repeated_source = Off

; If this parameter is set to Off, then memory leaks will not be shown (on

Avoid duplicating large configuration files

The PR adds multiple large, nearly identical php.ini files for different PHP
versions, creating a maintenance burden. It is recommended to use a single
template file and a script to generate the version-specific configurations.

Solution Walkthrough:

Before:

# File: 'bin/php8.2.30/php.ini'
...
memory_limit = 512M
post_max_size = 32M
...
extension_dir = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/php8.2.30/ext"
...
# ~2000 lines of configuration

# File: 'bin/php8.3.30/php.ini'
...
memory_limit = 512M
post_max_size = 32M
...
extension_dir = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/php8.3.30/ext"
...
# ~2000 lines of nearly identical configuration

After:

# File: 'templates/php.ini.tpl'
...
memory_limit = 512M
post_max_size = 32M
...
extension_dir = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/{{PHP_VERSION}}/ext"
...
# Single ~2000 line template file

# File: 'generate_configs.sh'
#!/bin/bash
PHP_VERSIONS=("8.2.30" "8.3.30")
for version in "${PHP_VERSIONS[@]}"; do
  sed "s/{{PHP_VERSION}}/$version/g" templates/php.ini.tpl > "bin/php/$version/php.ini"
done
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a major maintainability issue by highlighting the duplication of large configuration files, and proposes a valid architectural improvement that would significantly reduce future maintenance effort.

High
Possible issue
Fix invalid path placeholder syntax

Replace the invalid placeholder BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH with the correct
environment variable syntax ${BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH} for all path directives.

bin/php8.2.30/php.ini.ber [750-1975]

-include_path=".;~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/php8.2.30/pear/pear"
+include_path=".;${BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH}/bin/php/php8.2.30/pear/pear"
 ...
-extension_dir = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/php8.2.30/ext"
+extension_dir = "${BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH}/bin/php/php8.2.30/ext"
 ...
-upload_tmp_dir = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/tmp"
+upload_tmp_dir = "${BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH}/tmp"
 ...
-session.save_path = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/tmp"
+session.save_path = "${BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH}/tmp"
 ...
-soap.wsdl_cache_dir = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/tmp"
+soap.wsdl_cache_dir = "${BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH}/tmp"
 ...
-zend_extension = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/php8.2.30/ext/php_opcache.dll"
+zend_extension = "${BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH}/bin/php/php8.2.30/ext/php_opcache.dll"
 ...
-xdebug.output_dir = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/tmp/cachegrind"
+xdebug.output_dir = "${BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH}/tmp/cachegrind"

[To ensure code accuracy, apply this suggestion manually]

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the ~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~ placeholder is invalid in a php.ini file and proposes a valid syntax for using environment variables, which is a critical fix for the configuration to work correctly.

High
Use correct extension for OPcache

Correct the OPcache extension loading by using opcache instead of the
Windows-specific .dll path to ensure it loads correctly on Linux.

bin/php8.3.30/php.ini [1761]

-zend_extension = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/php8.3.30/ext/php_opcache.dll"
+zend_extension = opcache
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a critical platform incompatibility error (.dll on Linux) and provides the modern, portable, and correct way to load the bundled OPcache extension, which fixes a definite bug.

High
Use correct Opcache extension file

Change the OPCache extension from php_opcache.dll to opcache.so to match the
expected Linux/Unix environment.

bin/php8.2.30/php.ini [1761]

-zend_extension = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/php8.2.30/ext/php_opcache.dll"
+zend_extension = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/php8.2.30/ext/opcache.so"
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: This is a critical fix, as the wrong extension file (.dll instead of .so) for the target environment would prevent OPCache from loading, causing a major performance loss.

High
Specify the full Xdebug extension filename

Specify the full filename for the Xdebug extension, such as xdebug.so, to ensure
it loads correctly.

bin/php8.3.30/php.ini [1951]

-zend_extension = "xdebug"
+zend_extension = "xdebug.so"
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: The suggestion correctly points out that using just the extension name for a zend_extension might fail, and providing the full filename (xdebug.so) is more robust and conventional.

Medium
Correct Xdebug mode for profiling

Update xdebug.mode to debug,profile to enable the profiler and make the
xdebug.output_dir and xdebug.output_name settings effective.

bin/php8.2.30/php.ini [1950-1955]

 [xdebug]
 zend_extension = "xdebug"
-xdebug.mode = debug
+xdebug.mode = debug,profile
 xdebug.start_with_request = trigger
 xdebug.output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
 xdebug.output_dir = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/tmp/cachegrind"
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: This suggestion correctly identifies a misconfiguration where profiler settings are present but the profiler mode is not enabled, making the intended feature non-functional.

Medium
Specify full xdebug.so path

Update the zend_extension directive for Xdebug to use the full path and .so
extension, like BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH/bin/php/php8.2.30/ext/xdebug.so.

bin/php8.2.30/php.ini [1951]

-zend_extension = "xdebug"
+zend_extension = "~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/php8.2.30/ext/xdebug.so"
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: The suggestion correctly points out that zend_extension for Xdebug should use a full path and the correct .so extension for a Linux environment to ensure the module loads reliably.

Medium
Security
Enable strict mode for sessions

Enable strict session mode by setting session.use_strict_mode to 1 to protect
against session fixation attacks.

bin/php8.2.30/php.ini.ber [1369]

-session.use_strict_mode = 0
+session.use_strict_mode = 1
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

__

Why: This is a strong security recommendation to enable session.use_strict_mode, which is a crucial defense against session fixation attacks and is highly encouraged for all environments.

Medium
Enable HttpOnly session cookies

Enable the HttpOnly flag for session cookies by setting session.cookie_httponly
to 1 to mitigate XSS risks.

bin/php8.2.30/php.ini.ber [1408]

-;session.cookie_httponly =
+session.cookie_httponly = 1
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

__

Why: This is an important security enhancement to enable the HttpOnly flag on session cookies, which helps mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by restricting cookie access from client-side scripts.

Medium
Enforce PHAR archive signature validation

Enable PHAR signature validation by setting phar.require_hash to On to mitigate
security risks from tampered archives.

bin/php8.2.30/php.ini.ber [1081]

-phar.require_hash = Off
+phar.require_hash = On
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: This is a valid security hardening suggestion that recommends enabling PHAR signature validation, which is best practice even in development environments to prevent executing tampered archives.

Medium
Enable HttpOnly session cookies

Enable HttpOnly session cookies by setting session.cookie_httponly to 1 to
mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) risks.

bin/php8.3.30/php.ini [1398]

-session.cookie_httponly =
+session.cookie_httponly = 1
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: The suggestion correctly recommends enabling session.cookie_httponly as a crucial security measure against XSS attacks, which is important even in development environments.

Medium
Disable PHP version exposure

Disable PHP version exposure by setting expose_php to Off to avoid providing
version information to potential attackers.

bin/php8.3.30/php.ini [397]

-expose_php = On
+expose_php = Off
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4

__

Why: While disabling expose_php is a good security practice, this configuration file is explicitly for development, where the security risk is lower and having this information can be useful for debugging.

General
Use valid path expansion

Replace the BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH placeholder with a valid environment variable
syntax like ${BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH} because php.ini does not expand the tilde
character.

bin/php8.2.30/php.ini [749]

-include_path=".;~BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH~/bin/php/php8.2.30/pear/pear"
+include_path=".;${BEARSAMPP_LIN_PATH}/bin/php/php8.2.30/pear/pear"
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

__

Why: This suggestion correctly identifies that the tilde ~ is not expanded in php.ini files, which would cause path resolution to fail. This is a significant correctness issue affecting multiple directives.

Medium
Enable output buffering for development

Set output_buffering to 4096 to align with the recommended development value
documented in the php.ini file.

bin/php8.2.30/php.ini [221-225]

 ; Default Value: Off
 ; Development Value: 4096
 ; Production Value: 4096
 ; http://php.net/output-buffering
-output_buffering = off
+output_buffering = 4096
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: The suggestion correctly points out that the output_buffering setting contradicts the file's own documentation for a development environment, and fixing it improves developer experience.

Low
Align output buffering with documentation

Set output_buffering to 4096 to match the file's own documentation for a
development environment and prevent common "headers already sent" errors.

bin/php8.3.30/php.ini [225]

-output_buffering = off
+output_buffering = 4096
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies an inconsistency between the file's documentation and the actual setting, and the proposed change aligns with best practices for a development environment.
